"The Carolina Spartan" Issue: March 15, 1882 Willie TROUT of Fingerville is very sick. His friends have only slight hope of his recovery. Last Saturday a four horse team of G. D. CARRIER ran away from the Air Line Depot, being frightened at an approaching train. The driver was not in reach of them when they started and they ran up Magnolia street and one of the horses was killed. Solicitor DUNCAN ran up home from Union Saturday night, and returned Monday to finish up the Sessions docket. He thought he would get through Tuesday. There was a great amount of criminal business for a small county. KNOX was acquitted for the killing of GALLMAN. The EDWARDS case attracted considerable attention. In May 1876, John EDWARDS in broad day light shot John SANDERS near Wilkinsville in Union county. The prisoner was defended by Wm. MUNRO and McKILLICK of the Union bar and Col. RION of Winnsboro. The solicitor was assisted by C.P. SANDERS Esq., of Spartanburg. They jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The case occupied a part of three days. The punishment is five to thirty years in the penitentiary. MARRIED --March 12, 1882 by Rev. T.V. Gowan, Mr. James A. BROCK, of Buncombe Co., N.C., and Miss Nannie S.
